Lavender is the colour people expect to be sweet and are relieved to find is not. It has a grey base, so it stays soft and slightly dusty rather than turning towards lilac or anything childish. That restraint is why it ends up in more guest rooms than any other colour we sell: it reads as considered without being personal to whoever chose it.
\nOn silk the grey underneath shows more in low light and the purple lifts in daylight, so it moves through the day more than a flat dye would.
\nIt sits against white bedding without either of them looking like an accident, which is the usual failure with a pale purple. It also works with grey and with natural linen. Against warm creams and golds it tends to go muddy, and against a strong wood tone it disappears.
\nIf you want two, lavender with silver is the quiet combination and lavender with white is the safe one.
\nAs a pale-to-mid dye it holds colour well, better than the reds and the deep blues. Sunlight while drying is still the main thing that will soften it, so dry it in shade. It hides marks a little better than white and not as well as the dark tones.
\nCold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach. Everything else is the same as the rest of the range: 100% mulberry silk, 22 momme, 51cm x 76cm, hidden zip.
\n\nEvery colour is the same 100% mulberry silk at 22 momme, 51cm x 76cm, with a hidden zip, and every one costs EUR 49. You can see all eleven together on the mulberry silk pillowcase page. For a lighter and less expensive fabric, the satin silk pillowcase is a different weave rather than a lesser version of this one.
\nSilk is smoother than woven cotton, so hair and skin slide over it instead of catching, and it holds less moisture so it draws less of your moisturiser off overnight. We make no medical, anti-ageing or hypoallergenic claims for it.
